Pegasus Bay
- Merlot Cabernet 2019

Upon release the colour is deep ruby.  It is sweetly fruited and seductively savoury on the nose, displaying cranberry, pomegranate and spiced plum melded with smoked game, earthy mushroom, undergrowth, cinnamon, and star anise.   The palate is concentrated, supple and fleshy, combining power and grace.  Dark, rich, and brooding in the mouth, it has fine-grained tannins that add energy and drive.  Vibrant acidity and luxurious length of flavour set the platform for a persistent and satisfying finish.  This wine is another classic expression of our Te Hau site, displaying a perfect balance of both fruit weight and savoury complexity.
